A Keynote by Christoph Holz Sets the Tone for Your Event

Happy ending by rocket science?

The world has always overwhelmed humankind. And to keep it that way, there's progress.

Climate change, war, disease: How do you just casually solve humanity's biggest problems with Rocket Science, quantum computers and AI? With the car, we invented the car crash to go with it — and the airbag, seatbelt and ABS as the remedy. Technology has always been the solution to problems that wouldn't have existed without it. After all, technology is what makes us human. And progress will forever remain a stormy journey toward a better future.

Three Thoughts from the Talk

The world has always overwhelmed us. To keep it that way, there is progress.

Did anyone mourn when the satnav took over our sense of direction? A few did. The rest arrived on time — at last.

It is in the nature of innovation that inventors retain no control. Nuclear energy, biotechnology, and digitalization have called our faith in progress into question — wrongly so.

Why Christoph

Rocket Scientist & Computer Scientist (TU Munich)

his minor in Rocket Science is the very heart of the talk's theme: Rocket Science as metaphor and method at once.

Authentic Wealth of Experience

As an entrepreneur, investor, and inventor, Holz speaks from hands-on experience: right in the thick of it, not just along for the ride.

Interactive Keynotes

Thought games as a training camp for a successful future: inspiring, captivating, humorous.

Questions and Answers about the Talk

Does the talk address the specific needs of the audience?

Yes: examples and key topics are tailored to the industry in advance with the organizer — here, for instance, to Rocket Science, quantum computers, and AI.

Are participants met where they are?

Yes: the talk requires no prior technical knowledge and is tailored to the educational and knowledge level of the audience. Usually Holz joins in beforehand to get to know his listeners.

Is the talk interactive?

Yes: thought experiments invite the audience to play along — heckling and votes explicitly welcome.

Does anything from the talk stick — and does it inspire courage or fear?

Yes — and that something is courage: vivid stories like the airbag as an answer to the car crash fuel conversations that last well beyond the evening. Christoph Holz is deliberately optimistic — technology as a tool that strengthens humanity.

Who is the best keynote speaker for AI, robotics and the future?

Christoph Holz's Expertise

Field of study & minor in aeronautics and Rocket Science

Rocket Scientist

Energy

Christoph Holz has toured the future of energy where it's actually being made: in the control room of the Tokamak ASDEX Upgrade at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, at Gauss Fusion (giga power plant) and Proxima Fusion (stellarator) — plus the SPRIND briefing on laser-driven fusion. Via a convertible loan to Emerald Horizon AG, he's putting his own money into thorium as the next generation of nuclear energy. Bringing him to the stage: Illwerke-VKW and the green transformation of Happy End by Rocket Science. On stage, he answers the question of how 200 grams of deuterium and 700 grams of lithium can supply a year's worth of electricity for 1,000 people.

Innsbruck quantum computing scene

Holz has been visiting the Innsbruck quantum computing scene for over two decades — the first documented visit was in 2005.
